The last I heard of him was that Miss Elizabeth O'Ded at Luger (Randy Phol)'s house and then they arrested him for having gallons of HGH. That was like 2 years ago.

Is he in jail. Is he responsible for Miss Elizabeth's death? I can't find any updates on his whereabouts.

Larry Pfol is his name as I recall. I never did hear what happened about all the drugs or if that is still pending. He was angling for work but I don't think anyone touched him. Jeremy might have better info. I never cared for Luger.

The man has zero charisma and no facial expressions but it's strange that theres's no mention of what happened to him.

Usually there's a follow up on any incidents that happen to wrestlers. It's been two years and not a word. I can't even find anything on the net, it's like he's been erased or blacklisted from the net.

Lex Luger was the absolute poster boy for how far steroids can take you.

Luger was a perfect fit in the late NWA/WCW era.He also was pushed perfectly as the No.1 face in WCW during the height of wrestling.Don't forget that stuff.That said,he's done now.

He's worked for TNA via being friends with Sting.Match was horrible.Trial still waiting on drug charges.

Putting him in as an associate horsemen was an insult to the horsemen. He was never horsemen material. The greatest work he did was as the narcissist. The leadup for his introduction to WWF was perfect. The Brain was perfect as his manager. Without Heenan it just wouldn't have been as effective.

I seriously disagree.His American Hero role in WWF was way better than the Narcissism,which fell way flat.

Okay, from a purely popular perspective you're right but for my entertainment it was the narcissist and only because Heenan made him look good. Don't tell me you enjoyed the The Lex Express. That had lame written all over it.

I'm just a huge fan of the Brain so anytime he's managing somebody it's gold. Which reminds me of the Flair for the gold which was captivating television.

I was never a Luger fan either. I always thought he looked deformed with his huge bicepts and NO tricepts. Anyway, RF video (rfvideo.com) just released a brand new Lex Luger shoot interview on VHS and DVD for $25. He goes into detail about everything that's happened in his career up to and including the night that Miss Elizabeth died, and what he's doing now. It's either three or four hours long. If anyone picks it up let me know. I've got several other shoots that I'd be willing to trade for a copy.

Rob Feinstein was the "RF" behind RF video and one of the major forces behind the creation of Ring of Honor. ROH was basically created to be a home owned wrestling promotion whereby Feinstein would have 100% rights to the release of the video and dvd product from the promotion. Gabe Sapolsky was the booker if I recall correctly and others were involved. RF Video was the tape company and ROH (Ring of Honor) was the wrestling company. Its been said that the wrestling promotion barely broke even but the dvd/tape sales were the profit. Not a bad idea in my op.

Last year Rob Feinstein was caught on tape by a local tv station in a sting operation of underage sex. I believe it was the setup of an underage boy that Feinstein bit on and they not only got him on tape showing up at the home to be confronted by the reporter but had the earlier computer contact where he admitted he was involved in pro wrestling. After this came out, the local police dept was none too happy with the tv station since it was iffy if it could be used for prosecution for myriad reasons and they potentially endangered the public for a ratings ploy. Feinstein went underground when the story broke and Ring of Honor went into survival mode. Feinstein floated the story that he turned over the ROH stock to either Doug Gentry or Gabe Sapolsky, I forget which, and that he was out of the picture forever. Longtime wrestling insiders didn't believe it nor should they since you can't just sign over stock ownership you must have a trail of sale for tax purposes and nothing was ever filed (that I am aware of). Many wrestlers such as Samoa Joe came out solidly against Feinstein and said they wouldn't work for ROH if Feinstein was involved. Later it came out that Feinstein was never really gone, but just laying low. However, I do believe he has negotiated the sale of ROH to Gabe or others which is why they are now having a war of shoot tapes against each other.

Jeremy, is that about right?

Any errors in the above--sorry. Thats all off the top of my head.

Wow. That makes sense. I read something a while back about Rob being removed from the company or something to that effect. I could'nt figure out how that could happen since it was his company. Damn.
